Organocatalytic activity of granaticin and its involvement in bactericidal function
We previously discovered that actinorhodin, a benzoisochromanequinone antibiotic produced by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), serves as a catalyst facilitating the oxidation of ascorbic acid and cysteine (PNAS 48:17,152, 2014).

Sulfhydryl compounds in the treatment of cystinuria
Cystinuria, an inborn error of metabolism, is clinically characterized by the formation of l-cystine crystals and stones in the urinary tract. Sulfhydryl compounds react with the less soluble cystine to form water-soluble disulfide derivatives. l-Cystine stone formation and its undesirable side effects are thus prevented, and regulation of its ...

Nitrosylation of Myoglobin and Nitrosation of Cysteine by Nitrite in a Model System Simulating Meat Curing [PDF]
Demand is growing for meat products cured without the addition of sodium nitrite. Instead of the direct addition of nitrite to meat in formulation, nitrite is supplied by bacterial reduction of natural nitrate often added as vegetable juice/powder ...
